Say Yes to Prom: serve a ‘Me-n-U’ Promposal at a Romantic Outdoor Table Set for Two!
Creating the Perfect Proposal with a Personalized “Me-n-U” Menu
In the world of romance, grand gestures have their own special charm, and what could be grander than popping the question with a creative twist? If you’re planning a proposal and want to make it uniquely memorable, consider turning a simple dinner date into a storyline of your relationship through a Canva-designed “Me-n-U” menu.
Step 1: Choose Your Menu Template
First things first, select a template on Canva that resonates with the aesthetics of your relationship. We used this menu template. Whether it’s sleek and modern or rustic and charming, the design should feel like a prelude to the beautiful story you are about to unfold.
You can use our template here to add your own events and dates. We printed it through Walgreen one hour photo as an 11×14 photo.
Step 2: Map Out Your Relationship Timeline
Divide the menu into different sections such as Appetizers, Main, Side Dishes, Entrees, and Desserts. Each of these will represent a significant phase or moment in your relationship.
Here’s how you can categorize:
- Appetizers: These could be your initial dates or first impressions, light and delightful moments that sparked the connection.
- Main: Major milestones like the day you officially became a couple or the first trip you took together.
- Side Dishes: The fun, quirky traditions you’ve developed or small, meaningful moments, like inside jokes or your first holiday spent together.
- Entrees: Major declarations or commitments, like moving in together or adopting a pet.
- Desserts: Sweet culminations like anniversaries or the most romantic dates that are worth cherishing.
Label each ‘dish’ with an important date from your relationship, described as the ‘price’ of that memory. This creative twist plays into the uniqueness of your menu, turning dates into prices, signifying how each moment is a building block of your shared life.
Step 3: Setting the Scene
For the proposal, set up a romantic dinner at home or a special location that means something to both of you. Think of it as setting the stage for a moment that will be remembered forever. Decorate the table with flowers, candles, and a beautiful tablecloth. Place the “Me-n-U” menu at her place setting to surprise her. Adding fine china on the table will elevate the moment, making it feel even more special and intimate, or your favorite take-out.
Step 4: Pop the Question
As your partner goes through the menu, let each ‘dish’ evoke memories and emotions. When she reaches the last item, be ready with your ring to pop the question. The playful wording of “Can’t go to Prom without Me-n-U” not only brings a smile but also ties your entire story together, making the moment truly magical.
We added a personalized candle label using the color of her dress. You can find the template here. We printed it as a 4×4 photo through Walgreens One Hour Photo and then used packaging clear tape to secure it to a candle in her favorite scent.
Final Thoughts
A proposal like this isn’t just about asking someone to Prom; it’s about celebrating your journey together and setting the tone for many more shared memories. By personalizing your promproposal in such a thoughtful and creative way, you’re showing just how much every moment together means to you. Here’s to creating more ‘menu items’ together!
